Research Topic: Size-controlled nanogels

The size of nanoparticles is known to dramatically affect biological processes such as cellular uptake, tissue/tumor penetration and immune response. In particular, particles smaller than 100 nm show improved tissue penetration. This project focuses on the preparation of size-controlled, sub-100 nm nanogels, for applications such as drug delivery, gene therapy and medical imaging.
